Past Worship Services

Services are held at 9:15 & 11:00 a.m. each Sunday. Upon delivering this sermon I will have freshly returned from a weeklong class at Singularity University on, “Preparing Global Leaders & Organizations for the Future.” The course promises to help students, “Explore the opportunities and implications of exponential technologies and connect to a global ecosystem that is shaping the future and solving the world’s most urgent problems.”

Services are held at 9:15 & 11:00 a.m. each Sunday. As we recuperate from election season, it’s time to take stock. Setting aside strategy for a moment, what are our core values? Is fighting really the best metaphor? Today, while the nation observes Veterans Day, our children are learning about Indigenous Peoples Day. In worship, we consider the juxtaposition of gratitude for those who have fought for democracy and sorrow for the devastating consequences of militarization. As caring people making our way in a complex world, we rededicate ourselves to the individual and collective work of justice.

Services are held at 9:15 & 11:00 a.m. each Sunday. In this sermon we’ll more closely examine the “dichotomy of control,” a fundamental principle of Stoic philosophy. The first line of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer is familiar to most; “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” Often it is knowing the difference that is the most important and most difficult of all.

Reason and the Measure of All Things

Services are held at 9:15 & 11:00 a.m. each Sunday. The ability to reason has long been considered one of the fundamental qualities distinguishing human beings from other animals. While some other animals also demonstrate rudimentary forms of reasoning, and humans don’t always use this power effectively or often enough, learning to reason well could fundamentally transform human relations.
